Thanks for the
"due respect", BlueChipper
But, that "History" link that I gave came from
this website. (I should have referenced them earlier). Maybe you are working with that group?
Tim, your first link has a link that originates in I'm guessing Russia? offroadvehicle.ru so I did not open it. As I said there is a lot of garbage 'history' and suppositional information floating around the net.
I'm familiar with the history you linked from napco4x4.org, and while probably most of it in my opinion is accurate, some is not. As you are well aware there is always a bone of contention here and there amongst those in enthusiast groups.
As far as the badge part of this goes, there is universal agreement among the NAPCO guys that the badges were always included in every upfit kit that was shipped and that probably 95% of customers chose to add the badge to their trucks. Were you able to see the badges in the pictures of the printed manual and advertisement I posted above?
